Just a small follow up to the Monte SS, the garage that was trying to sell it turned it into their shop’s drag car with the crate engine and rebuilt transmission they were going to put in the car if I bought it.

I have two different ones from when I was 18-20 (12-14yrs ago).

To be fair there was another question of the day awhile ago that was a more general what car (might have been dream car) would you buy your parents if money was no question and if I remember correctly most answers were older vehicles.

Was this the basis for the ”Nissan Sport Concept” from Midnight club 3 Remix? Looks like what I remember from the game and I think it was rwd.

New cars specifically;

If the power is out at an intersection don’t just stop and continue on your way if you don’t see anyone coming just wait an extra 2-3 minutes. That guy in a Scion TC will fly up and not turn his lights on until right before he T-bones you. If you wait you’ll be able to keep the Reatta and slowly restomod it like you…

12-14 years ago I took my fwd 01 Volvo V70 down a dirt road with steep hills at both ends after a snow storm. Probably 6 inches of snow, slush, and mud. People typically only took 4wd vehicles on the road as the tire ruts were 2-6 inches deep depending on the area.

I don’t have a prized regular car toy, but my prized car toy is my first run HotRod Transformer from 1986. I bought it about 8 years ago after looking for 5 or so years for a great condition, but opened box sample as I wanted to display it out of the box. I have newer versions of HotRod, but the original G1 from 1986…

I got into cycling in 2020. I always did BMX, but wanted something else. I wasn’t sure what type of cycling I actually wanted to do as in mountain biking, road cycling, urban, etc. Because of that I purchased a decent bike that was on sale and that had my requirements at the time, hydraulic disc brakes and an…

Every single trip with my sister’s old cat. No matter the length of the trip it was always the same, constant “meow, meow, MEow, MEOOOOOOOW, vomit” repeat. You knew when he was going to vomit because his meow went very long and dropped a few octaves. It could be a 5 minute drive in the neighborhood to a neighbor’s…

Not specifically worst with my family, but riding my motorcycle in front of my mom driving my car up to state college during a storm with torrential downpours. I had to hang off the side to prevent the wind from tossing me and use a wet glove to wipe away the rain to see. I refused to stop because I was already…

This is for my 2019 Accord Hybrid - forgot to say that in the original post.

The fact that it wasn’t made as a station wagon.

An Astro conversion van with the full reclining bench-seat. Not nearly as creepy or skeevy as an old “shaggin’ wagon” van, but still basically a full size bed. Even better if it has a TV and an N64 or playstation (ps1) in it, that way you can have fun before and after as well!

I have a 2019 Hybrid Touring, it passes easily. I don’t know the exacts, but I have never had issues with passing on back roads or anything like that. Even on the highway it has more than enough power to pass. I’ve had both the 1.5T and 2.0T as loaners, the hybrid is closer to the 2.0T in power and passing ability.

I had this discussion with my wife around new years. The last 2 years her sister and parents both have bought me these types of hot sauce gift packs. I was nice about it just saying, if they want to buy me hot sauce do one of two things: Ask me what sauces/companies I like or buy me something made local when they are…

I know this is old, but just to clarify I only ask for a public location if the car is in an area that is known to be sketchy, i.e. high crime. The only times I've dealt with this the sellers wanted to meet no earlier than 8pm. Again a known high crime area 8pm, I'd ask to meet at a public area.

My dad bought a former rental 2016 F150 Platinum a few years ago. The truck had the bare minimum miles for the agency to sell it. He got a 9 month old truck for almost 50% off. He has repeatedly said it’s the only way he’ll buy a truck from now on.

If it’s a private sale, the seller not willing to meet at a public location as long as the car runs. I say this because I have been interested in numerous cars, but once I saw it was located in a very sketchy location I wasn’t comfortable to go there especially as the sellers typically wanted to meet in the evening or…

Any autobot from Transformers.
